New Topographics at the SFMoMA

Jul 18, 2010

On Saturday, July 17,Â New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape opens at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit is a restaging of the 1975 showÂ New Topographics, which featured landscapes as a combination of natural and built structures, a departure from the traditional way of depicting vast vistas as comprising exclusively natural forms a la Ansel Adams. The exhibition includes nearly 150 photographs representing the works of all ten of the photographers originally displayed in the show.Â New Topographics is on display through October 3 and throughout its durationâ€”and afterwardâ€”you can watch a slideshow of images from the exhibitÂ here.
